[Verse 1, male vocals] They called me savior, they called me brave, But none of them stayed when I dug the graves. Each blade I forged, each life I spared, Was another reminder no one really cared. [Pre-Chorus, male vocal] I bled for their dreams, I fought for their lies, Built castles of hope while my soul slowly died. The path of the hero is paved with regret, Every step forward a debt I can’t forget. [Chorus, male vocal] Call it duty, call it fate, Call it whatever helps you sleep late. But a hero’s just a fool who couldn’t say no, A name carved in stone where no flowers grow. I saved the world, but I sold my soul, For glory that rots and a life with no goal. [Verse 2, male vocal] I wanted justice, I wanted peace, Instead, I became the monster beneath. Each promise I made, each vow I swore, Was a chain on my heart, and it weighed even more. [Pre-Chorus, male vocal] No parades, no cheers, just a shadow remains, The hero they needed, but none knew the pain. The ideals I cherished became my cell, A prison of virtue, a personal hell. [Chorus, male vocal] Call it sacrifice, call it pride, Call it whatever lets you push me aside. But heroes are nothing—just tools in a fight, Disposable candles burning out in the night. I saved the world, but at what cost? A life of regret and battles I lost. [Bridge, male vocal] Steel is my body, but it cuts both ways, Fire in my blood burns brighter than praise. What’s the point of ideals if they’re built on my pain? What’s a hero’s victory but ashes and shame? The sword I became was never my own, A weapon of dreams, abandoned alone. [Final Chorus, male vocal] Call it valor, call it grace, Call it the lies that keep heroes in place. But the truth is bitter, the truth is clear, Heroism’s a mask for the things we fear. I saved the world, but the cost was me, A martyr’s reward is misery. [Outro, male vocal] No happy ending, no shining reward, Just a lonely path and a shattered sword. I dreamed of a world where no one would fall, But in the end, I’m the fool who lost it all.
